Skirts and dresses in car seats- what do you do?

MoonRocket · Aug 19, 2011

Just curious how you deal with skirts and dresses in car seats. Is there a trick rather than just bunching them up? If you're doing a fancy dress do you just put it on when you get somewhere?
Thanks

Yes that is what I do, I leave her with something that is easy change and then put her on her dress or skirt

DD likes sundresses and knit dresses in summer so I have a method of folding the bottom up, then the top down over her crotch with the buckle over it. It helps with the bunching and wrinkling and keeps the strap from rubbing on her legs. If it was a fancy dress or one I didn't want wrinkled at all I would wait until I got there.

My DD is super classy and just hikes her dress/skirt upwards (she wears bike shorts) and gets in. If it's something formal, then I'll help her sit on it and pull it through her legs. When she has a recital, and we're dealing with tutus and costumes, she wears something else and we change her when we get to wherever it is we need to be.

My kids wear dresses every week to church. Unless they have REALLY huge crinolines and, like, silk skirts (in which case we put them in a tee and dress them when we get wherever we're going) we have them sit, pull the skirt all to one side, buckle the other side, then pull it to the outside of the BUCKLED side, then buckle the other side, then pull it out the sides or middle and drape it nicely so it won't wrinkle- whichever way is easier with that particular dress.

I actually have a picture that shows how I do skirts in our Frontier. She's such a little lady! It also puts to rest (so to speak) any doubts about being able to sleep in a Frontier. She crashes out regularly.

Picture HERE in another thread.
